• Abstract:
  In this study, new and integrated Smart honeycomb Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (S-FRP) ; sandwich materials for various transportation construction applications, with particular emphasis ; on highway bridge decks in cold regions, were developed and tested. The novelty integrates ; advanced polymer composite materials with smart piezoelectric sensors and actuators to form ; smart structures, and along with advanced material technologies and proposed damage ; identification algorithms, it is capable of improving construction speed in cold climates and selfmonitoring ; structural conditions in remote sites. A combined experimental and analytical study ; to develop, evaluate and test the S-FRP sandwich materials was conducted, and related studies ; on dynamic response, temperature effect and scale-up of test results, development of viable and ; effective damage identification algorithms and techniques more suitable for 2-D plate-type ; structures, and experimental characterization were investigated.
